Rice/Rita should be a barn-burner. The Mustangs have won the past four meetings between the two and have played better competition up until this point. Both teams like to run the football, but the team that avoids turnovers and can establish a passing attack will prevail here. I say Rita by three.

Bremen is 3-0 and has a Division stud in David Smith. But the Braves have played no one of substance thus far and barely beat winless Hillcrest last Friday. Oak Forest has a difference-maker in Tevin Coleman. I'm hearing Oak Forest quarterback Tom Zale is out for this game. I don't think it will matter much. I'll take the Bengals by a bunch.

The best of the bunch is the Lincoln-Way East/H-F showdown. Both have dominated their opponents the first three weeks and have explosive offenses. East QB Blake Winkler and H-F QB Tim Williams are two of the best passers in the area. We'll see which team does a better job of stopping the other. I like East by a score.
